Not strictly EDC for most people I know (me included), but just checked through some old kit bags for potential items for EDC switcharound and BOB review, and came across an old ferrocium rod. I’ts been in there for a couple of years now and everything was generously covered in a fine grey powder which I am assuming is the effects of corrosion (some pitting in the score lines too where previously used).
I have given this a quick wipe down and reckon there’s still plenty of use left in it – but what’s the best way to stop this happening again? Anyone got any recommendations on coatings/varnishes for ferro rods?
